Function and Genres : Studies on the Linguistic Features of Discourse Types Paperback / softback
Edited by Gabor Tolcsvai Nagy
Part of the Metalinguistica series
Paperback / softback
Description
Text is a linguistic unit of communication in which linguistically expressed conceptual units are connected in different conceptual structures.
The conceptual construal of things, events and relations is structured on the basis of a variety of cognitive and communicational options.
These choices form discourse schemas, partly in a culturespecific way.
There is a dynamic relationship between schema and instantiation.
The volume approaches these questions from a functional perspective, where the processual nature of discourse is as important as its structural character.
The volume has two parts: the first one presents theoretical papers, the second deals with certain discourse types, and some linguistic features that characterize specific discourse types.
